TOY WATER- MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,421, dated May 3,1887.- Application filedJ'anuary A2, 1887. Serial No. 225,104. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK E. 'Bonmnerron, of Chicago, in the county ofCook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Im- 5provement in Water Motors, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

My invention relates to an improvement in water-motors specially adaptedfor a toy, and has for its object to produce a compact, simple, andcheap device for operating toy machinery.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of theseveral parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed outin the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section through my motor, and Fig. 2a front elevation thereof.

In carrying my invention into effect I pro vide two reservoirs, A and A,adapted to hold water, and connect the said reservoirs at one end by aplate, B, provided with flanged sides I). The opposing end plates, at a,of the reservoirs are made to slantfrom their outer edges inward in thedirection of the connecting-plate B, and each of said ends is providedwith an aperture, 0, near the inner edge of the reservoirs, into whichtubes are fitted, to extend within the reservoirs to apoint near theopposite or outer end thereof. These tubes 0 serve to introduce air inthe reservoirs and also serve as ameans offilling the same. Outlet-tubesD are provided the innerinclined end plates, a a, of thereservoir,centrall y the same, a distance from their outer edges, theoutlet-tube of the one reservoir being in alignment' with theoutlet-tube of the other.

BarsE are attached at one end to the upper edges of one reservoir ateach side and at the other end to the lower side edges of the oppositereservoir, extending thereby at an inclination across the spaceintervening the same. About centrally the said bars E a shaft, F, isjournaled, having attached thereto a paddle- 50 wheel, f. The said wheelis so located between the aforesaid side bars E as that a stream ofwater issuing from either ontlet-tubeD will fall squarely upon thepaddles. Upon one end of the shaft F, outside the side bars,E, abalance- Wheel, G, is secured, while upon the opposite side, alsooutside the side bar in which the shaft-is journaled, a crank, g, isformed on said shaft, whichis connected, by means of a rod,

II, with a saw, H, or other device, adapted to o.

be operated by the rotation of the water-wheel. In operation onereservoir is filled with water,introduced through the aperture Ointo thepipe 0, and when said reservoir is filled the device is placed in avertical position, the filled reservoir upon top. The water will issuethrough the outlet-tube D upon the paddles of the wheel, turning thesame, and,wasting upon the inclined end plate of the lower reservoir,will enter the same through the aperture in said plate. Vhen the upperreservoir becomes emptied,the device may be reversed and the otherreservoir, now full, be utilized.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new,and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a motor, the combii1ation,\vith the united reservoirs A A, havingtheir opposing ends a a constructed to guide the water rear- Wardly, andprovided with an aperture, 0, and tube 0, adapted to admit air, andoutlettubes D in the same vertical plane, of a paddie-wheel held torotate between said outlet. tubes, subsantially as shown and described,and for tlr purposes herein set forth.

2. In a motor, the combination, with the united reservoirs A A, providedwith inwardlyinclined opposing ends a to, having flanged sides, .and anaperture, 0, and tube 0 in said inclined ends, adapted to admit air, ando'utletsD in the same vertical plane, of a padd1e-wheel,f, held torotate between said outlet-tubes, having a balance-wheel, G, at-

tached at one end of its shaft H, and a crank, g, at the other,substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes herein setforth.
